Abstract
The present disclosure shows an anti-rotation device for a lock system in a motor vehicle, comprising a base cover unit having an opening for passage of a lock system; a cover unit; a rotor rotatably attached to a back side of the base cover unit by a latch mechanism, in which the rotor has a radial rib structure; a hollow receiving body accommodating the rotor and having a recess; and an interlock system on a circumferential line of the recess of the receiving body. On rotation of the rotor in the receiving body the position of the rotor in the receiving body is ascertained by the contact of the interlock system with the rib structure.

An anti-rotation device for a lock system in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a base cover unit with an opening for passage of a lock system;
- a rotor rotatably attached by a latch mechanism to a back side of the base cover unit, with the rotor having a radial rib structure;
- a hollow receiving body accommodating the rotor and capable of being connected to the base cover unit, with the receiving body having a recess;
- and
- an interlock system comprising resiliently mounted interlock points arranged in pairs on a circumferential line of the recess of the receiving body, wherein a position of the rotor in the receiving body is determined in that the resiliently mounted interlock points are urged radially outwards with a spring action when the radial rib structure contacts the interlock system such that the rotor is rotated past the interlock points, in order to install the lock system in the receiving body when the rotor is in a predefined position.
